By the way, Yuzuruâs part-time job was based on his parentsâ connections.
His father got him a job working for a lawyer and as a tutor, and his mother got him a job at Hiromiâs restaurant.
So it made sense for Yuzuru to tell his parents before introducing Arisa to HiromiâŠ
In addition, he needed to ask his grandfather, the most âimportantâ person in the Takasegawa family, who supposedly lives in retirement as the previous head of the family, but in reality, was a political figure.
Of course, this was not absolutely necessary, but⊠Yuzuru was serious as the next head of the family in these matters, so he did not neglect to do so.
Also, Arisa, being Arisa, naturally needed to get permission from her adoptive parents.
It was only natural for high school students to consult with their guardians when working part-time.
And this was the most important thing, as long as the school rules state that you need to get permission, you must get permission from the school.
After going through the above arrangements, Arisa could be introduced to Hiromi for the first time.
And as it turned out, Arisaâs part-time job went without any problems.
Yuzuruâs parents and grandfather replied, âItâs fine if Arisaâs guardians say itâs okayâ, Arisaâs adoptive parents replied, âItâs fine if the Takasegawa family introduces her to the workâ, and the school said, âItâs fine if the guardians say itâs okayâ.
âŠIt was not as if all of them were throwing their judgment to others.
But, it could also be said that Arisa and Yuzuru were trusted.
At Hiromiâs restaurant, in its staff room.
âNow, please stamp your seal here. Youâre hired.â
âYes. Thank you very much.â
Arisa did as she was told and stamped her seal.
This was the end of the contract.
âBy the way, your reasons for applying say something plausible⊠but what about the actual facts?â
âEh!? UmâŠâ
When Hiromi asked her, Arisaâs eyes swam.
Her motivation for applying for the job was well written with the reason why she wanted to work in a restaurant, but in reality, Arisa was not really looking for a job in a restaurant.
She wanted to make money.
âAh, itâs okay. The motives of part-time workers are usually to have money to play around or to meet new people.â
Hiromi said with a wry smile.
They did not need a plausible reason for wanting to work part-time for students.
It was normal for college students to quit when they accumulate money, get a job, or get sick of the job. âŠThe employment will be for about four years at most.
Of course, quitting after a few weeks was indeed a problem.
So, Hiromi wanted to hear the real reason for applying for the job.
âI wanted to earn some money.â
âI see. Well, of course.â
Why do you want a job?
To make money.
That was the obvious reason.
âBy the way, this is a personal interest of mine⊠Is there something you want?ăDid your parents tell you to earn the money to buy it yourself?ă⊠Oh, no, if you donât want to tell me, you donât have to.â
Hiromi knew that Yuzuruâs parents were quite rich.
Despite this, she wanted money⊠Perhaps her parents donât give her an allowance?ăHe couldnât think of any reason other than that.
ââŠItâs a secret from Yuzuru-san, okay?â
âYuzuru-kun?ăYeah, sure.â
âI wanted to give him a presentâŠâ
âAh, I see. You want to give him a present with the money you earned.â
âYes, thatâs right.â
A little embarrassed, Arisa beamed.
Hiromi, on the other hand, was impressed with what a spirited girl she was.
âBy the way, about your job⊠Can you do hall work?â
âHall work⊠you mean customer service?ăI think itâs fineâŠâ
Arisa had heard from Yuzuru that there was a shortage of kitchen staff, so she assumed that she would be sent to the kitchen.
When she asked Hiromi about itâŠ
âYeah, well, thatâs true. We have a person who can do both the kitchen and the hall, so we can solve the problem by having her work mainly in the kitchen. And I want Arisa-chan to work in the vacated position in the hall.â
âIs there a rule that you have to start from the hall?â
âNo, not really⊠I just thought it would be a waste to put Arisa in the kitchenâŠâ
ââŠI see.â
In other words, he wanted her to be in customer service because she had a pretty face.
Hiromi continued as if to explain himself to Arisa, who had a very subtle expression on her face.
âYou see, itâs a customer business. First impressions are important. Well, if you donât like it after trying⊠itâs totally fine if you want to move to the kitchen.â
âI see, I understand.â
As for Arisa, as long as she could work in either the hall or the kitchen, she had no particular problem.
It was not that she thought she couldnât work in the hall, or that she didnât want to work in the hall, or that she really wanted to work in the kitchen.
âWell, you can start the shift tomorrow. Iâll be in your care.â
âYes. I look forward to working with you.â
Thus, Arisaâs part-time job was successfully decided.
Then, the next day.
ââŠWhat do you think.?â
A cute waitress with flaxen hair asked Yuzuru.
Her cheeks blushed slightly and she looked embarrassed.
âItâs cute. It looks good on you.â
Originally, the waitress outfit at the restaurant where Yuzuru worked had a cute design, but when Arisa wore it, it looked even cuter.
Of course, Arisa herself was cute, so she would look cute no matter what she wore.
âRight Right. It looks good on you. You look really cute.â
Hiromi said happily.
The more cute waitresses they have, the more sales the store will getâŠ
It was not as if Yuzuruâs assessment was particularly lenient towards Arisa.
It was her first job, so it was natural for her to be nervous.
It was true that her smile was stiff and she fumbled many times, but that was about it.
She didnât make any fatal mistakes, such as dumping food over the head of a customer.
It is within the range of a normal person âŠwho is not that good.
Normally one would get used to it after some time.
Normally.
ââŠCan you send me to the kitchen, please?â
However, Arisa had completely lost her confidence.
It was not that she was full of confidence, but she thought she could do better.
In her mind, she was reminded of Ayaka and the othersâ assessment âArisa-chan looks like a cheerful person, but inside sheâs a negative personâ.
âHmm, well, I canâŠâ
The kitchen was the one that was short on staff, so in terms of manpower, there was no problem at all with Arisa moving to the kitchen.
However, Hiromi didnât want to turn the blond-haired, blue-eyed, big-breasted beauty into a kitchen girl.
If possible, Hiromi wanted to make her into a poster girl.
Yuzuru and Arisa were in the mood to say, âWell, that would make the game handicapped, right?â.
âHow about having her in the kitchen, until she gets used to the atmosphere?â
On the other hand, Yuzuru wanted Arisa to be in the kitchen.
He was anxious.
Working in the hall and serving customers means that she will be in contact with a lot of customers⊠This means that there was a risk of being involved with âstrange customersâ.
Of course, Hiromiâs restaurant had a high unit price per customer, so âstrange customersâ were unlikely to appear⊠However, there was no guarantee that they would never appear.
The kitchen was safer.
Not that there was no risk of Yuzuru not being able to keep an eye on her. But since it was a job in the first place, Yuzuru couldnât keep an eye on her all the time, and there were days when she and Yuzuru didnât coincide due to shifts, so that was nothing new.
â⊠Well, thatâs right. yeah, letâs do that.â
Hiromi thought about it for a while and then decided to let Arisa into the kitchen.
Partly because it was what Arisa wanted, but also because he was afraid that the poster girl they got luckily would say, âI donât want to work anymoreâŠâ and run away.
While letting her work in the kitchen, he could have her serve customers in the hall once in a while to get her used to it.
Thus, from the next time onwards, Arisa would be working in the kitchen.
And there was no problem at all with her work in the kitchen.
ThenâŠ. the first holiday since Arisa started working.
âYuzuru-san⊠I have a favor to ask.â
âA favor?ăWhatâs it?â
As soon as she went into Yuzuruâs room, Arisa said.
ââŠUm, I want to practice.â
âKissing?â
âN-no!â
Arisaâs face turned red as she denied it.
Then she cleared her throat lightly and answered.
âI want to practice customer service, and being a waitressâŠâ
AN: Next time, Waitress Arisa-chanâs practice(flirting).
