Kamigawa High School ended at 3:15, and Toru Watanabe arrived at Nishi-Shinjuku Station at 3:30.

He works at a supermarket near the exit of the station.

"Watanabe-kun, here!" As soon as he arrived at the store, Chiharu Murai, a young female cashier standing at the cash register, greeted him with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Sister Chiharu."

Toru Watanabe walked into the staff room, put his bag in the cabinet, changed into his uniform, put on an apron, and walked to the deli area.

"Watanabe-kun, I'll go first." Keiko, who was in charge of taking him, saw him and couldn't wait to put down the work in his hand.

"Okay."

Keiko is in her twenties and has been a housewife since she got married. When my daughter went to kindergarten and was bored at home, she went out to work again.

Every day, as soon as it arrives, I am in a hurry to pick up my daughter.

Toru Watanabe is the only one left in the delicatessen area.

He looked at the oden first, and only a few pieces of mutilated fried tofu were left floating on it.

He skillfully took out processed white radish pieces, kelp rolls, rice cake lucky bags, konjac and other ingredients from the cold snow area, put them into the machine by category, filled them with soup, and boiled them on the fire.

Then there are fried foods.

The best-selling pork patties and chicken skewers are also running out, so they have to be restocked quickly.

After using the oil all morning, it was fairly clean, and when I put the chicken skewers in it, yellow bubbles appeared, and a slight heat wave hit Toru Watanabe's mask-wearing face.

"Mom! I want this! ”

"It's time for dinner, no!"

"Ahh

Toru Watanabe didn't say a word, waiting for the tug-of-war between the child and the young mother in front of the counter to end.

In the end, the child happily took the freshly fried chicken skewers from his hand and was obediently taken away by his mother, who was still chattering.

"Thank you for your patronage."

I just walked here, and on the other side, students wearing other high school uniforms came to buy oden.

"One, no, two!"

"Okay."

He used tongs to put two pieces of white radish soaked up the soup into the disposable box.

"One bamboo wheel, two kelp rolls, ah, eggs also ......"

"Eat so much? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to eat at the dinner party? The companion said with a smile.

"Rest assured, rest assured." The man waved his hand, "Bring me another rice cake lucky bag!" ”

"Okay." Toru Watanabe did it one by one.

"Then I'll have a copy too!" Another student said.

Two minutes later, Toru Watanabe sent off the guests with the same "thank you for your patronage", while someone on the other side was looking at the fried food.

"What do guests need? It's all freshly fried. He walked over.

The guest gave a second look, turned and walked away.

After being busy until half past seven, Toru Watanabe temporarily left the delicatessen area and labeled the leftover bento boxes one by one.

At half-past nine, the supermarket closed, and he, along with Chiharu Murai and two other staff members, restocked the shelves.

At this time, it was more free - it meant that it was okay to replenish any shelf you wanted, and Chiharu Murai followed Toru Watanabe.

"Watanabe-kun, I'm going to be paid soon, do you want to go out together?"

"Salary...... How much can you get? ”

"Watanabe-kun, you work, five hours a day, three days a week, a month, huh...... Probably ......"

Is the hourly wage 960 yen, which means 57,600 yen? It's a little little, but save a little bit, eat the school canteen, and you can use less money from your hometown.

It's a pity that the fifteen hours a week are more than the school allows, and now they are doing it secretly.

If you find a part-time job, you may be able to save money.

With this in mind, Toru Watanabe took the potato chips from Chiharu Murai's hand and placed them on the shelves.

"Probably...... Less than 60,000? Never mind. Chiharu Murai gave up mental arithmetic and proposed with a smile: "There is a new karaoke store behind Nakano Station, why don't you go and sing to celebrate?" ”

"Recently, I'm planning to save money to buy new games."

"What game is so expensive? Sixty thousand can't be used up, right? ”

Toru Watanabe turned around and smiled at her, "I'm not Sister Chiharu, you don't have money at home, and the money to buy games is also saved." ”

Chiharu Murai nodded slightly unwillingly: "Okay, how about next month?" ”

"Well, if you have money, you must go."

"Then I'm looking forward to it?" Chiharu Murai's tone became cheerful.

"Okay."

After the snack area is replenished, Toru Watanabe walks towards the toilet paper area, with Chiharu Murai following behind.

After replenishing all the goods, the four employees divided the remaining bento boxes and fried food, and said goodbye to each other in front of the store.

Back to the old apartment I rented, it was already past ten o'clock.

This apartment is rented out to nearby high school students, college students, international students, and outsiders who come to Tokyo to pursue their dreams.

The house price is relatively cheap, but the space is narrow, and the door is a kitchen with only a gas stove, and three steps inside, there is a room that is both a living room and a bedroom.

The toilet can only fit one toilet, fortunately it is a cubicle, and there is an exhaust fan. The bathroom is similarly cramped, but you can take a shower and a bath at the same time.

There is also a balcony where you can only dry clothes and cannot stand.

Toru Watanabe has no complaints, anyway, it's just a place to sleep, and it doesn't matter how big or small.

He heats bento boxes and fried food in the microwave for five minutes.

Leave it alone, take a ten minute shower, and then take the heated food out of the microwave.

Put the animated DVD that Osamu Kunii lent him into the TV - his parents were afraid that he wouldn't be able to make friends in the city, worried that he only knew that studying would lead to autism, and bought a bargain to pass the time.

I poured a glass of water and ate my lunch.

He didn't focus on the animation, using it as a background sound, thinking about something else.

With April's salary and 150,000 yen of funds, I don't know if I can make Yuzao agree to be his girlfriend.

According to the "market conditions" I heard from Shuna Kunii, it is usually 15,000 yen at a time, and there are even 6,000 yen at a time at a girls' high school.

From this point of view, he went to Shinjuku Kabuki or Akihabara to find these people and let them be his one-night girlfriends, and it seemed that he could earn a lot of points.

But Toru Watanabe didn't plan to put his life on this love game.

At the age of fifteen, he spent money to find a one-time "girlfriend", and once he let the school know, let alone let the taxpayers pay for his future plans, it became a question of whether he could graduate from high school.

Besides, he can't be sorry for his parents who work hard in his hometown as farmers.

In the end, he didn't have any points to buy [Probe].

In other words, Toru Watanabe's current target is only two people, Rin Kiyono and Tamamo Yoshimi.

Rin Kiyono has an IQ of 8 points, a charm of 9 points, and a cold personality, and the [Probe] has not given any useful information.

Although Toru Watanabe was surprised by her appearance, he was not interested in such a person and was too lazy to spend time on her.

Tamamo is so beautiful and charming 8 points, but her intelligence is only 5 points, and being admitted to Kamigawa High School is probably her limit, even if intelligence is not equal to emotional intelligence, but it is much easier to fool.

Coupled with the fact that the other party likes money, this is very convenient.

It's good to be able to solve it with money, Toru Watanabe doesn't want to really fall in love. Even if you fall in love, you won't find a girl like Yuzao who is so beautiful and can't get along with his basic three views.

Let's do it to Yuzao Haomei, and use the money to let the other party be his girlfriend, he made up his mind.

According to the [Supplementary Provisions], if the dating time lasts for a week, a month, a year, or ten years, there will be a sign-in reward.

Toru Watanabe doesn't expect a year or a decade, but at least a week and a month of rewards have to be in hand.

150,000 yen, so that Tamamo Haomei agreed to be his girlfriend for a month...... I don't know how the other party's "market" is?

There was also another risk in this matter: letting a third person other than the two of them know about the deal.

Toru Watanabe is most concerned about this - judging from the rumors in the school, Tamamo's beautiful mouth is very strict.

But it could also be that other students happen to see ......

It's better to find time to contact each other and observe for a while.

Thinking of this, the bento has been eaten, and Toru Watanabe puts away the garbage and puts it at the door so that it can be thrown away tomorrow morning.

Turn off the TV that was still making sound, push the table into the corner, make the bed, brush your teeth and sleep.
