CHAPTER XV
It's Sunday morning.
I was wearing a uniform and leaned against the wall and yawned heavily.
I'm in a small coffee shop right now, and it's where I work to earn extra money.
It is worth mentioning that because the store manager is a very kind person, I have now received my salary in advance this month, which means that I have finally said goodbye to the economic crisis.
"Akihiko, this is table five."
"Roger."
When the work came, I walked over to take the tray, and then walked to table five with graceful and steady steps, and gently lowered the tray.
"Please enjoy it slowly."
Don't look at what I'm doing now, I had a lot of errands when I first came here, and I was even severely reprimanded by the store manager, but after half a year of training, I finally got used to this job.
Also, during this process, I could feel that a lot of eyes in the store were on me.
I can only smile bitterly at this, because of this delicate face, I can easily attract the attention of female customers in a place like a coffee shop.
The shopkeeper may have also taken a fancy to this, and specially prepared a uniform for me that was different from others, and the result was that I became more conspicuous in the store, in fact, I didn't want to do this, but in the face of the temptation of a raise, I still couldn't help but compromise.
So I can now say that I have become the "beckoning cat" of this coffee shop.
It's really hard work......
"Sakamoto, it's still as popular with women as ever."
When I got back to the counter, a hearty voice came.
The owner of this voice was a handsome boy, who seemed to be only a little more mature than me, but was actually twenty-five years old.
Ito Rin, the senior who had the best relationship with me at the cafΓ©, was also the one who guided me little by little, and thanks to him, I was able to learn to behave so gracefully.
"Don't laugh at me, Ito-senpai, you know I don't like this."
I smiled wryly at Ito-senpai.
Although I don't have any trouble with gynography, it doesn't mean that I'm good at dealing with women, to be honest, I haven't even looked for a girlfriend now, and there are very few friends of the opposite sex, and it's so intimate that it's like Qiuna, and it's the only one.
Akihiko Sakamoto, a high school student, has almost been insulated from girls in his life so far, and I don't have too many regrets about it.
So, why should I bear the gaze of same-sex jealousy!
"Sakamoto, thanks to you with such a good face, why don't you know how to take a sister?" Ito-senpai, who was about to say a few words to me, suddenly frowned, and then chuckled: "Now, Sakamoto, I have a hunch that there may be unpleasant customers in the store for a while." β
"Is it the beastly smell of the Ito family again?"
It's surprising to say, Ito's premonitions are always accurate, and there have been many times when he has a premonition that there will be great customers coming back from the store, and one of them is actually a movie star who has recently retired from the front line.
As a result, the staff at the store jokingly coined the term "Ito's beastly sense of smell".
"Ah, yes, I already smell my prey!"
To match my joke, Ito-senpai smiled and gave a thumbs up.
So what kind of interesting guests will come this time?
I looked at the door of the store and was looking forward to some rare big shots, such as popular idols or something. Although I don't chase stars, I will still be happy to see such characters that I can't normally see.
However, after waiting for an hour, there were no customers in the store who said that Ito's predecessor said. The expectation in my heart gradually faded, and even the "beastly sense of smell of the Ito family" would not work at times.
β¦β¦
Then, just as I was about to forget about it, four "angels" descended.
"Welcome."
Hearing the sound of greeting customers, I habitually turned my head in the direction of the store's door, and then I couldn't help but be stunned.
Walking in from the door of the store,There are four very cute girls.,And each girl has a different temperament.,Although I'm not very interested in girls in reality.,But I can also see that girls like them.,No matter where they are, they will definitely become the focus of attention.,But such girls are now running out of four at once.γ
If anything, the four flares, which were already very bright, suddenly turned into a brighter flashbang.
I set my eyes on the girl walking on the far left, and then I felt a lot of pressure, because ah, this guy is actually about 1.75 meters tall! Because I'm 1.73 meters tall and a little shorter when I stand next to her, this height is a monster level among girls! Not only that, but this tall scary guy is also in good shape, and he has nothing to say, which is completely the best interpretation of the devil's teaching materials. Maybe because of the advantage of height and figure, this girl's face is obviously more ordinary, but this is only relative to the other three.
Looking at the girl on the far right, this girl is also an eye-catching stunner, because ah, she actually has long blond hair! It's still curly hair! This kind of hair is completely Western, but her face has the characteristics of a Japanese girl's petite, and it seems that this guy is either a mixed race or has put a lot of thought into his hair.
Next to the girl with curly blond hair is a petite girl with short hair combed in spirit, only one meter and five meters tall makes her look like a doll, and this girl has a lot of cute trinkets on her body, and she looks like a childlike guy.
As for the girl at the end, the guy who vaguely looked like the leader of this small group was someone I knew well......
Ah, that's right, although when I first saw it, I was a little unsure because of the light makeup, but after taking a closer look, I can already be sure.
That guy...... It's my sister......
Even if there are three beautiful women with different characteristics around me, the one who is the most conspicuous one is my arrogant sister.
I couldn't help but remember the last time I asked her where she got all that money, and the guy gave me a magazine, and I saw that there were a lot of pictures of this guy in it.
Obviously she is only a little girl in the third grade of middle school, but she can already earn her own money, and her salary is still very exaggerated, much more than the salary of my part-time job.
My sister, without knowing it, has become a teenage model.
Just when I was stunned, Ito-senpai came up to me.
"Sakamoto, look, my inspiration has worked again! This time it's really an amazing guest! Take a closer look at these girls who are rare to see of the top grade, how about it, do you want to talk to them? β
"I'm still exempt, you know I'm not good at dealing with girls, especially this kind of beauty."
For Ito-senpai's suggestion, I rejected with a wry smile.
Although the relationship has improved a little, I am still a little resistant to meeting my sister outside, especially since she still has her own friends, and if it passes, the situation will definitely be awkward, right?
"If you don't go, then I'll go."
Ito-senpai shrugged his shoulders, then left me alone and walked towards the table where the four girls were sitting. One of the advantages of being a waitress at a coffee shop is that it's easy to find reasons to talk to, but I won't take advantage of it.
By the way, Ito-senpai, although I don't know what happened to the other three girls, but as long as my sister is there, you're destined to end in tragedy. As far as I can see, the man who was able to subdue that guy was probably not born yet.
However, after hiding in place and watching for a few minutes, I smiled wryly.
Asuka was completely different in front of outsiders, she didn't show the slightest unreasonable aura, and smiled gently like a gentle girl.
Asuka in sheep's clothing.
"Akihiko, this is table eight."
At this time, my task came again.
Table 8...... Wait a minute!?
I looked inside the store with wide eyes, and then confirmed my uneasiness. Table 8 is exactly the same table where Asuka and her friends are sitting!
God, you play with me...... I just want to stay here in silence until they leave......
I barely smiled, picked up the tray and walked towards table eight, and unlike the smile on my face, my heart was already in tears.
"Please enjoy it slowly."
I put down the tray and deliberately lowered my voice a bit, so that I could take advantage of the fact that they were chatting so well that I could escape without noticing. However, my plan was ruined by Ito-senpai at once.
"Isn't this Sakamoto? Just now you said you didn't want to come, but you couldn't help it. It's okay, I'll introduce you to them, don't be shy. β
Ito-senpai's voice made all four girls aware of my storage, and the next moment, Asuka let out a surprised cry: "Eh? Y-How did you get here!? β
Now that you have been recognized, you can only accept your fate......
I sighed inwardly, then smiled wryly, "As you can see, I'm working here. β
"Asuka, do you know him?" The petite short-haired girl made a surprised voice, "What a beautiful boy!" β
If you can, please don't use "pretty" to describe me, okay?
"Hmm......" The girl with blond curly hair looked me up and down, then smiled maliciously, "Could it be that this is Asuka's boyfriend?" β
"Asuka is too cunning! I actually got a boyfriend and didn't say a word! And it's such a handsome boyfriend! The short-haired girl cried out in dissatisfaction.
"You guys!" Asuka blushed and sneered, "Who told you that he was my boyfriend!" This is my useless stupid brother! β
I saw Asuka's retort on the side, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, Asuka who looks so delicate like this is really weird......
"Huh? Is it an older brother? If that's the case, isn't there still a chance? β
Hearing Asuka's words, the short-haired girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Asuka doesn't tell us, can you say...... Are you afraid that we will snatch your brother? The girl with curly blond hair approached Asuka with a curious expression.
"Yari! What are you talking about! β
Ah, it's the sound of sheep again......
"Oh, Sakamoto, you can hide deep enough, and you don't tell us if you have such a cute sister."
At this time, Ito-senpai came over and grabbed my neck, and then drilled my fist my head.
"Alright, let's let this guy introduce himself first."
After getting out of breath, Ito-senpai let go of me, and then stood aside with his arms folded over his chest. I rubbed the place where I was drilled, and then said with a wry smile: "My name is Akihiko Sakamoto, and I am Asuka's older brother, please advise." β
After speaking, I bowed slightly.
"My name is Ari Ishikawa, please advise~" This is a girl with curly blond hair, and she is staring at me with interest.
"My name is Akane Takeuchi~" This is a petite girl with short hair, and her big eyes are already shining with light when she looks at me.
"Ikuko Sakurai." The last tallest girl was obviously more introverted, and she was also the one who reacted most calmly to my presence.
"Na, does Brother Akihiko have a girlfriend?"
After saying hello, Akane Takeuchi immediately stuck to her.
"Hmm...... Not ...... yet," I replied with a wry smile, and then unsurprisingly noticed that the light in this guy's eyes shone even brighter.
Although I could tell that this guy was just having fun and didn't really fall in love with me at first sight, it was still very embarrassing for me because it looked like I had seduced my sister's friend the first time we met.
"Oh~ Really, a boy like Sakamoto Senpai, who is so good, really doesn't have a girlfriend?"
Ari Ishikawa laughed a little wickedly, I could feel a strong black aura coming towards me, this guy's personality must be the one who likes to play tricks on people.
"Well, it's true......"
I'm starting to feel like running away, it's awkward to stay here.
Don't you see? Asuka looked at me with a gaze that was about to burst into flames......
"Sakamoto, there's a job!"
At this moment, a heavenly voice came.
"That's, that's it, I still have something to do, you can enjoy your coffee slowly."
As if I had been granted amnesty, I hurried a polite gesture and ran behind the counter as if I had run away. There, Ito-senpai smiled heartily, "How is it, I'm doing a good job, right?" β
"Thank you so much, I won't be able to stand it any longer."
I let out a sigh of relief, and then thanked me from the bottom of my heart.
"That's it, invite me to eat ramen after work."
"Uh...... Isn't it free help? β
"Yo Sakamoto, you're too naΓ―ve."
"yes, yes, I see, ramen, huh? When the time comes, please eat. β
